Dump Trailer Built From 1952 Ford Truck
 |
 |
The trailer uses the dump truck’s original pto-powered hoist with a homemade adapter attached to the tractor pto. Bond cut the frame rails off the truck and bent them in toward the front, then attached the frame to the tongue from an old Deere 14T small square baler. The axle and steel wheels are from an old steam boiler. A homemade handle operates the control valve to raise and lower the body.
“We use it for hauling and dumping firewood and other jobs around our farm. It eliminates the need to unload wood by hand,” says Bond. “We use our Deere 2350 tractor to pull it. The dump truck sat in the woods until we decided to make a trailer out of it. We added wooden sides to the box to increase the capacity.”
